[SOLVED] Need help with Pc build around $1.5k

[Frkn_PARADOX]

Specs are:-
Processor - Ryzen 7 3800x
GPU - Rtx2060S or Rtx2070S
RAM - 16GB Corsair Vengenace 3600Mhz
PSU- 750W+ GR EVGA
Cooler - Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4
Motherboard - Gigabyte Aorus Elite Wi-fi
Storage - 500GB Nvme M.2 Samsung EVO
Storage - 2TB Seagate Firecuda
Case - H500
Monitor - CJG5 by Samsung

Let me know about any bottle-necks or any problem in this build. Suggest your opinion if anything needs to be changed or downgraded or upgraded. Also the monitor i mentioned is 1440p 144Hz. Help me in choosing the GPU.

1)Ryzen 3700X. No performance advantage present for an extra $50 price premium:

2)2070 Super or RX 5700XT. The latter has a better value, but perhaps you simply prefer Nvidia? No big deal.
3)Just making sure here, but 2 sticks of ram, right? Some people still try to get away with single stick configs, only to soon be puzzled by in-game performance, or anything even moderately demanding.
4)I'm not familiar with a 'GR'? model in EVGA's lineup.

GR is for Gold rated.
And Nvidia coz of ray tracing
It is 2sticks of DDR4 -3600Mhz.(8*2)
So u r sayin that i should spend $50 on somethn else instead of 3800x?

Put leftover money on 1 TB M.2 drive instead....(500 GB just does not go as far as it once did!)

Or, skip the spinning drive altogether, and just get an Intel 660P NVME in 2 TB (about $190-$195 these days)

1)Oh. First time seeing it being used that way.
2)Ok.
3)That's good. I was just making sure.
4)I already said the 3700X. The extra money can go to this instead:

Be careful over the Dark Rock Pro it has issues with RAM clearance.

also would look at the H500i and H510. Slightly better cases.

Corsair Vengeance ram should be fine with that cooler. It has a low profile heatsink, only like 1mm taller than naked ram.

H500i is overpriced due to that silly Smart device included.
No issue with the H510 though.

Also has an RGB strip the smart device is useful on the H200i as ITX boards only have like 2 fan headers. Dunno how it’d fair with an ATX board.

Built this per your budget you listed. Obviously you can change the storage config to your liking. On the RAM honestly you will not see any difference between 3000MHz (that i picked) and the 3600MHz you picked in real world applications. The i5 i picked benches so close to the Ryzen 7 you picked, yeah sure its 8 cores vs. 6 cores but again you won't see much difference in gaming performance and this build came in $80 cheaper for the total build.

Whichever way you go, i hope you have fun building it! That's what it's all about in the end.

 

[Notorious^]

Also the case i picked out requires 6 case fans hence why you will see 6 fans i picked out for it.

Your build with a 3700X and 2070S will do well at 1440p/144 and I would stay with the 3600mhz ram for Ryzen unless it is a lot more than 3200. Friend just bought a similar system and it is great. Nearly identical performance to my sig.

Nope. That build is inferior to Ryzen 3000. With Intel, it's 9700k, 9900k or bust. Anything lower than that isn't worth it over Ryzen 3000.

Memory: All Intel cpus based on Skylake and it's refreshes continue to scale up with faster memory, albeit with diminishing returns.
Ryzen it's a specific range between 3000 and 3600. Any higher, and the CCX interconnect switches from 1:1 to 2:1 mode, and performance is actually reduced without further tweaking.
To say the difference between 3000 and 3600 is not noticeable, would be somewhat true for Intel, but not the case for Ryzen.
Unlike Ryzen, Intel's cpus don't have almost a quarter of their performance gated behind memory speed.

Userbenchmark is only good for assisting with finding issues with system builds. Their benching algorithm is outdated.
